Yes, thats how you can set up for multi-DOMAIN operation of an OS/2 PEER
Client. I left that bit out of the discussion with Roy because it requires
manual editing of the OS/2 PEER configuration files to set that up and he
didn't need that functionality. 

Setting up for Multiple Domain presence is not possible using the supplied
configuraion utilities, it requires manual editing of the appropriate
configuration files, however it can be as simple as adding the paramaters as
you suggest, or it can get rather complicated, especially if you need to
useForwarded authentication for one of those Domains... This level of setup
really requires a very full understanding of what is invovled and considerably 
more documentation than is provided with OS/2.

Cheers........pk.
